Idle Module RoleSwitches that are not assigned either the primary or secondary role in a stack are, by default, assigned the role of idle modules. The

Pass-Through ModeThe pass-through mode is a state in which a switch has attempted to join a stack but has been denied primary, secondary, and idle sta

To avoid a pass-through condition following a reboot, make sure that all saved slot values for the stack are unique. Use the stack set slot command. F

To resolve this pass-through condition, simply assign slot 1001 a new saved slot value and reboot the module. This can be done in either of two ways:•

In some pass-through conditions (for example, larger stacks where multiple switches are in pass-through mode), it might be desirable to correct any du

Stack CablingSwitches in a stack are connected to each other by stacking cables. These stacking cables provide high-speed, dual-redundant links betwee

Redundant Stacking Cable ConnectionOmniSwitch 6450 switches allow redundant stacking cable connections between the top-most and bottom-most switches i
